Members Discuss Industry Issues District meetings examine markets, premiums, food safety, and more

摘要

A series of seven district grower meetings in July gave members an opportunity to meet with their directors and management, ask questions and hear reports on important industry issues. Members turned out in large numbers for the lunch and dinner meetings to take advantage of the opportunity to learn more about their cooperative and the market that will receive the 2004 crop. With the third billion-pound crop in a row soon to be harvested and prices double what they were in 2001, almond growers can look forward to "an outstanding year," Doug Youngdahl, president and chief executive officer, said.
